Abstract:		 During April and June 2008 Birmingham Archaeology carried out an archaeological watching Brief at St. Thomas à Becket House, formerly St. Thomas à Becket Church, Ettington (centred on SP 26545, 49355). The site was approximately 10km south east of Stratford-upon-Avon, Warwickshire. The work was carried out in order to complete the archaeological requirements placed on planning permission to construct residential dwelling on the site. The site was in use as a church and cemetery between 1798 and 1913. All groundwork was excavated under supervision in order to determine if any archaeologically significant remains were present and would be disturbed, including human inhumations. Foundation trenches, a drain trench and septic tank pit were dug using a mechanical excavator with toothless bucket. No significant remains were seen either around the site of the church, nor in the area of the proposed car port or drainage trench. However, a single human skull was found during the excavation of the septic tank pit. The skull was left in situ and it was therefore impossible to tell whether it represented an articulated burial or when it dated to. The location of this pit was subsequently moved so as to avoid any disturbance.
